There are 5 types of notifications:
Ensure no-reply@smartling.com is added to your list of accepted senders.
If you have received any of the following notifications and noticed the information in the email is different from what you're seeing in the platform, it could be due to any of the following features: SmartMatch behavior, Dynamic Workflows, or Notification timing.

- Click the Notifications tab to view and manage all notifications
- You can choose to group the notifications list by Project or by Notification from the dropdown
- Select or unselect the checkboxes next to each notification you want to receive.
